Tokyo girls have a big problem

Chapter 119 The next leg of the journey is 20,000 meters.
I studied for two days straight on Saturday and Sunday, and it felt like I was wound up again and switched back to the profession of 'student'.

On Monday, the three of them took the tram to school.

"Mizuki, have you given up?" Aoyama asked.

"Give up." Ono Mizuki, who was looking at English vocabulary cards, looked up, noticed his gaze, and knew what he was talking about.

“You were shorter than me back then!” she said angrily.

"No, right?" Aoyama Risa laughed.

"Sister!" Ono Mizuki called for help.

"It seems about the same?" Ono Mika was also troubled.

Upon arriving at school, Akita Shio handed out the report cards during the class meeting before the first period.

"Come up and get yours in order of your student ID number," she said.

"Some students did very well on the test this time, especially Qingshan, who got first place in math and made great progress."

Generally speaking, those who do well on the test will say so on the spot.

To find out who did poorly on a test, just look at who the teacher has been talking to recently.

"You skipped class, shouldn't you lose twenty points?" After class, Kobayashi Shiki studied Aoyama Risa's report card.

“Fool, what a person gains is what he does, not what he says.” Aoyama Ryo casually flipped through his Chinese language book.

Actually, my brain was trying hard to recall the knowledge points I learned yesterday.

While chatting with them, I secretly studied. Regardless of the efficiency of my studies, I at least enjoyed learning.

"You not only said you'd lose 20 points for sneaking out, but you actually did sneak out," said Kobayashi Shiki.

Jun Aizawa nodded.

“So he could have scored 118,” Aoyama Rika said.

"Out of 100, you got 118?!"

"I only recently learned that 101 points is just the basics."

"Impossible, impossible!" Kobayashi Shiki waved his report card. "Unless you're Chinese, I've heard that math exams in China are out of 150 points."

"I heard that the science majors have higher requirements?" Jun Aizawa only vaguely knew this and wasn't quite sure.

Aoyama Riya had long since lost track of what the maximum score for the college entrance exam was now.

"Oh, right," he remembered something, "who's going to post the photo of us at the maid café on TikTok?"

His tone was unfriendly.

Kobayashi Shiki immediately pointed at Aizawa Jun.

Jun Aizawa was a beat slower, and also pointed to Shiki Kobayashi.

"You got scolded by Senior Mika and Junior Mizuki?" Kobayashi Shiki smiled somewhat obsequiously. "Isn't that a reward?"

"No, not for someone like me who is often scolded."

"I'm so envious, Aoyama," Jun Aizawa said wistfully.

"You guys... forget it."

"No! If even you, Qingshan, abandon us, we're not even scum!"

The third period was physical education class, and everyone went to the locker room to change into their sportswear.

In May, some people were still wearing coats, while others were already wearing short sleeves and shorts; the physical education teacher did not require this.

"On the last Friday of this month, the 27th, there will be a long-distance running competition. As in previous years, we will first walk from the school to Akasaka Palace, run four laps, and then take the school bus back to school."

“Here we go again!”

It absolutely has to rain on the 27th!

"I'll trade Aizawa's lifespan for it!"

"Why don't you use your own?!"

"You bunch of kids." The PE teacher only had a look of amusement on his face. "Alright, in preparation for the long-distance run at the end of the month, from now on, every PE class will be a running practice session—let's start with ten laps to whet our appetites."

A sharp whistle sounded.

"Run!"

The group reluctantly set off.

Aoyama Riku also met Ono Mizuki, who was also on the track.

Not only Class 2-4 and Ono Mizuki's class, but all classes will prepare for the long-distance run at the end of the month during their physical education classes.

"Brother, I heard it's over 20,000 meters, is that true?"

"Really, really, Mizuki-chan," Kobayashi Shiki said obsequiously through Aoyama Ryou.

Mizuki Ono hid behind Osamu Aoyama.

"Is she Aoyama-kun's younger sister? She's so cute~" The girl from Class 4, who was only a year older than Ono Mizuki, treated her like a kindergarten child.

“Mizuki-chan, we can testify for Aoyama that we didn’t do anything at the maid café!” Kobayashi Shiki said.

"Yeah, I didn't eat or drink anything," Aoyama Riki remembered. "Aoyama-kun looks so cute with bunny ears!" the girl also recalled.

"I saved it." By the time Aoyama went to find her, the girl who said this was already hidden in the crowd.

"Where are my cat ears?" Shiki Kobayashi asked.

"Oh, right, Aizawa-kun's bear ears are cute too!"

Jun Aizawa ran with a serious expression.

After PE class ended, the rest of the day was spent almost entirely going over the test papers.

After school, club activities became lively again. Aoyama Rika studied in the classroom for half an hour before leisurely going to the Sunny Day Band Club.

The top fifty students in the April monthly exam were posted on the bulletin board in the corridor.

If you count from the back, Aoyama Risa is number 44.

That's right, Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti, two Fa together make 8, a very auspicious number.

My midterm exam target for this month is 37, a mediocre and even unappealing ranking.

The 37th place this time is 'Manabu Yoshikawa'.

Yoshikawa must be feeling a chill because of the ancient god's gaze.

Continuing upwards, you might occasionally hear some of these names.

The second place went to Yaeko Miyayo, with scores of 90 in Japanese Language, 94 in Social Studies, 97 in Mathematics, 96 in Science, and 100 in English.

so close!

She almost took first place in math!
The top student in the second grade was Ai Mikami, with scores of 99 in Chinese, 96 in Social Studies, 92 in Mathematics, 91 in Science, and 100 in English.

He truly is a person without worries.

The monthly exams at Kaiming High School are very difficult. If it were the midterm or final exams, their scores would be very close to the ceiling of '500'.

Aoyama Riya had heard that someone at school had gotten a perfect score, but at the time he was preoccupied with his part-time job and didn't care much about such things, so he didn't remember who it was.

Upon arriving at the Sunny Day Band Club, everyone had already begun practicing.

"How was it?" Ono Mika asked for everyone's opinion, seemingly after they had just finished singing.

"It's beautiful!" Drummer Meng Shi nodded vigorously, as if pulling down a floodgate. "Senior Meihua sang beautifully!"

“It sounds very nice, but…” Akika Gasai, with her guitar hanging on her body, pondered.

“Something’s missing,” F. Rino said.

While observing, Aoyama Ryo sat down and took out last year's "Collection of College Entrance Examination Questions: Chinese Language".

"It's like a standard answer, but without the solution process." Bess Sakurako tried to describe this feeling in words.

“Let’s try again. Try a few more times and choose the best version,” said Akika Wagatsuma. “Yumeshi.”

Drummer Mengshi strikes the drumsticks.

[My first visit to the Louvre]

I didn't feel anything special.

Because it is my very own Mona Lisa.

I had already met them.

The practice begins again.

Aoyama held the book in his left hand and twirled the pen in his right, but instead of actually writing it down, he silently wrote the answer in his mind.

Question 5

[For the underlined section A, please judge the older sister's current mood by choosing one of the four options.]

I understand now.

Even if this world comes to an end

Even as we get older

You are someone I can never forget.

Do you still remember those who followed the fleeting wind?

That bright and dazzling afternoon

Mika Ono sings a song by Hikaru Utada.

After a song lasting about four minutes was sung, Aoyama Risa hadn't finished a single problem, completely absorbed in the song.

"This time it feels pretty good!" drummer Mengshi exclaimed excitedly.

“Hearing that makes me feel at ease, a warm feeling wells up inside me,” F. Rino said, clutching her heart.

"That's the feeling—loneliness in life, it's destiny. Friendship and love can't eradicate it, but they can soothe it!" Bess Sakura exclaimed, lost in thought. "I really want to fall in love!"

"Don't get horny," my wife, Akari, said.
